Maybe Jack Hanna is needed to solve this mystery. A giant anteater gave birth at the LEO Zoological Conservation Center in Greenwich, Conn. Center officials told the Greenwich Time that they had removed the only male anteater from the enclosure in August, long before the six-month gestation period for baby Archie would have begun. They had feared that the male, Alf, would kill a baby in the pen. That left only the baby, Alice, and its mother, Armani, in the enclosure. Little Archie was born to Armani in April anyway. Marcella Leone, founder and director of the center, suspects this might be a rare case of delayed implantation, when fertilized eggs remain dormant in the uterus for a period of time.

Williamson said he was attending a performance of Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812, a new musical based on a portion of the novel War and Peace, and he decided to become a "vigilante" when the fellow patron refused to turn her cellphone off. "To the theatergoing public of New York — nay, the world — I say: 'You're welcome,' " he wrote on the Corner.
